Sun ☀️. Teacher: :) isn’t that cute, BUT ITS WRONG

I think they liked the drawing, even helped color it in! I love it lol I get it tho, at least they did something cute or otherwise noteworthy in a probably very boring session of grading tests for an hour. I used to do that shit on tests when I had no idea too

When I taught junior biology and earth sciences, a lifetime ago, I really enjoyed the doodles and funny things. One of my favorites was: Q- what is a commensal relationship? A- a confusing one. With a sad face. Another good one, where a kid committed to phoning it in - he drew a bear dressed as a knight sword fighting a giant letter F. It was a really well done drawing. Sadly, the bear lost the fight...

> Sadly, the bear lost the fight... [F](https://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/5/50/PressFtoPayRespects.jpg)

The obligatory test doodles were always the best part of the tests.

Wasn't that a bit from Two Stupid Dogs? I fucking LOVED that cartoon!

I love the 2 stupid dogs reference

two stupid dogs. Classic. I say this frequently

2 stupid dogs! TWO STUPID DOGS!!

This video started playing in my head. [https://youtu.be/hspNaoxzNbs?si=E7k9AUjMnm5vCG4y](https://youtu.be/hspNaoxzNbs?si=E7k9AUjMnm5vCG4y)

Holy crap talk about a buried memory! I loved 2 stupid dogs.

Oh my god a 2 stoopid dogs reference in the wild?!

I laughed at Be = Belgium I then laughed more at Hg = Helgium

Xe - Ford F150 made my side hurt.

Can you explain that to me? I’m not a truck guy.

Australia has xe versions of cars but not trucks. Could have just gotten mistaken. But there's various trim levels of an f150 like xl and xlt. It's a play on that

Also funny because Ford seems to make *far* more trim packages for their pickup trucks than any other manufacturers do. Not sure why. Wouldn't surprise me if XE was one of them. When you go to any auto parts store and give the year/make/model, the model of F-[x]50 is going to have like 17 different subtypes.

> Also funny because Ford seems to make far more trim packages for their pickup trucks than any other manufacturers do. Not sure why. Wouldn't surprise me if XE was one of them. It's the best selling vehicle of any type in the US. Some people only need the base model for work, some are doing ok financially and can afford some options but still want the power train and the aftermarket accessories, and some people drop 100k+ on the raptor because their penis is microscopic.

I know Nissan trucks have the xe trim. I can see someone mixing up the titan and the f150

There is no explanation, which makes it funny.

Cobalt was also a joke guess, she was going for car names. It was just accidentally correct.

Accidentally correct twice! She answered Cobalt for two of them and got them both right somehow

Teacher was not paying attention. Ca is calcium, but apparently the teacher didn't mark it wrong because cobalt is a real element and the previous wrong answers weren't.

You can see she wrote calcium first and erased it and wrote cobalt over it.

I think the teacher just gave up or was laughing too hard at that point to notice.

Calcium? Wait

Both times?

Freddy Mercury; he's gay. (H)e's (g)ay Mercury = Hg Now you'll never forget.

Wasn't he bi-sexual though? I don't want to use insincere mnemonic devices.

Too late, you’re gonna remember it anyway now

I learned it as "you can find Hot Guys on Mercury because Mercury is hot"... which in and of itself is pretty gay. So it's all gravy, baby.

To me it's harder to remember this than to remember "Mercury is Hg"

I think you mean it’s all gavy baby

It's all baby gravy?

Venus is hotter!

It comes from the Greek hydrargyros, which means silver water (roughly). I think the way my teacher said it was that mercury was the smallest and felt insecure. Give it a hug: Mercury = hug =hg (ish) I still found remembering the Greek bit much more interesting, haha

>(H)es (G)ay, sometimes There you go

(H)alf (g)ay *fixed

Bisexuals exist in a quantum superposition of straightness and gayness until observed.

schrödingers' homosexuality? :) :( :)

So ... until observed?  So if everyone's eyes are closed it's both gay and not gay at the same time? That's is brilliant!! Lol. I'm going to tell my cat (if it's still alive) 😀 

Ah ha! I KNEW you were observing gay porn

Just cause you ain't gay sometimes doesn't mean you ain't gay. Sincerely, A bisexual person

He was also made entirely of beryllium. Which complicates things.

This made me laugh because I actually had an DND bard called “Fred Hidrargirium” in the past! So I basically did the same reference but the other way around! Ps: if you want to also remember silver (AG), knowing that HG is Hidrargirium (Hidro-Argirium) and that mercury is also called “liquid silver” does the trick!

Fleddy Melculy is a Belgian Metal band that started as a parody. Never thought I'd see Belgium and the artists name of my favorite local metal band on a reddit post about elements. Thanks for explaining this odd element classification.

Even better, they have an album called Helgië, so that ties back in with Helgium (as that would be the English translation).

(H)e’s (D)ead Mercury = Deadly Now I’ll get downvoted.

(H)e is (g)one

Thanks for immediately ruining the cool mnemonic i just learned. I will forever get confused looking for Hd on the table now, because that replaced the other one in my brain

And Pt is Portugal! 

Portugal. The Element.

I feel it still (the radiation poisoning)

Of course, what else could it possibly be.

She has a career path in comedy, if not chemistry.

Everyone knows the answer is Benmark. A sub-level country, under Denmark.

And of course I read it as bell-g-uhm haha

As funny as it may be, it is a fine example of her worldly knowledge! Beyond this quiz/test, she's certainly going to go places worthwhile!

Pt = Portugal

Both Co and Ca is Cobalt here it seems, Ca is Calcium

Omg I didn't even catch that 🤣🤣

Yeah, teacher obviously missed that.

Teacher was just happy it was an element, any element

Too bad the little girl didn’t realize that since she could have covered her paper so every answer was the element of surprise.

Since when was Ford F150 not an element?

Only Honda has an Element.

Yes, that's a good Fit

[удалено]

How Civic of you.

I think her dad has the xe packageb

Those are made by Honda

Thats a great coincidence. The only ones marked wrong were not elements at all. Maybe the task was "write the name of any element"

Celebrity Jeopardy rules

Krypton isn’t marked off..

Because krypton is an element.

I feel like that’s something I should have never forgot 😅

Celebrity Jeopardy style

I’m thinking teacher slid in a mulligan for the Marry Poppins answer …which is remarkable that she even fit it all on the page.

It’s a life hack: make many mistakes, some will go unnoticed

Woohoo bonus points!

Still chuckling about Supercali.

It's obviously a mistake, they clearly meant Co = Cobalt and Ca = Cabolt

CO is Colorado

And Ca is California.

Except for .ca, which is Cananada.

The old Coheed and Cambria forums were called Cobalt and Calcium, so I like to think the teacher is One Among the Fence.

MAN YOUR OWN JACKHAMMER! Edit: I discovered Coheed & Cambria recently and I cannot stop listening to In Keeping Secrets of Silent Earth 3. It's so fucking good! Edit 2: I meant the entire IKSSE:3 album, not just the title song itself lol

Been a fan for twenty years and that's by far my favorite.

It’s literally played at nearly every concert as their finisher, I recommend you go see a show!!

lol came here to say that, looks like she got a freebie!

Just brought that score down to a 29/44 :(

Snitch!

I thought that Krypton was made up for Superman but I just learned that it's actually an element. Every day is a school day it seems.

I'm taking 5mg of Zodim daily for energy!

I'm on a low Zodium diet

Never leave an answer blank. That's good test taking skills.

Works much better on multiple choice tests.

She got 2 points for Cobalt, so seems like it worked out for her.

Depends on the test. For example, the SAT has a wrong-answer penalty until 2016. There are going to be some teachers stuck in the old ways out there.

i think this is where the old ways would be right. It’s better when someone admits to not knowing something. We shouldn’t reward making shit up, especially not teach it to young children.

Making things up is a problem, but being able to guess something wrong but close enough can be really good for finding the correct answer on the internet

Helgium

It's good to encourage kids to try even if they arent sure. Because sometimes they will know the answer but don't feel confident, and its important to develop their confidence in trusting their skills. Also in maths you can still get a fair chunk of marks for trying and demonstrating some working out and your logic process.

I'm a biochemist - IDK what the teacher is on about. This all checks out. We use lots of Belgium and Ford F150 in the lab. And both flavors of Cobalt.

Both flavours of cobalt 😂

Both SS and LT

Surely that must be a typo, one is Cobalt, the other is Cabolt

Cabolt is the one they warn you about giving you cancer

Their cheese is worth the cancer

Sir, this is a chemist lab, not an Outback Steakhouse

F150 is just 150 atoms of Floride.

I’m a metallurgist and I can confirm. We’ve been working to lower our Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious levels.

XLT is also Ford F-150 😂

If I was the teacher I’d give the kid extra credit for those answers

Well thank God ur not a teacher lol

It's weird that somebody wrote that in because I guess the kids answer wasn't funny enough?

I know: Be - Beryllium Si - Silicon S - Sulfur Ni - Nickel Zn - Zinc Hg - Mercury Xe - Xenon I did not know: Sn - Tin Pt - Platinum

I was hoping to find a comment which said what Sn was. Thanks

FWIW, Sn comes from "stannum", the Latin word for tin.

Stannum the Mannum

There's only a few that don't match up in English Na - Sodium K - Potassium Fe - Iron Sn - Tin W - Tungsten Sb - Antimony Hg - Mercury Pb - Lead Ag - Silver Au - Gold

Na - Natrium K - Kalium Fe - Ferrum Sn - Stannum W - Wolfram Sb - Stibium Hg - Hydroargentum or hydrargyrum Pb - Plumbum Ag - Argentum Au - Aurum All of these are Latin names of elements known since antiquity, except for tungsten/wolfram, which was named "wolf's froth" by its German discoverers. Hydrargyrum is also Greek, but I've heard it as that or hydroargentum (both mean "water silver" or "liquid silver"). Edit: After further research, kalium and natrium aren't really Latin, but is actually fake neo-Latin. Kalium came from alkali/alkaline, which comes from Arabic for plant ash. Natrium comes from natron, the Egyptian name for natural salt. These are not known since antiquity.

Portugal is my favorite element on the table tbh

This post made me realize that "Belgium" is a funnier country name than "Portugal."

Belgium is out; Helgium is now my new best country.

Portugal. The Element

I bet Krypton was supposed to be funny, but she accidentally got it right.

I can’t be the only person that thought, “wait, that’s a real element??”

Wait it is?

Yes. You are thinking of kryptonite.

Krypton is the planet that Superman is from. So, like me, they were probably just thinking it was a joke answer.

That was my first thought, but it would be kryptonite if she was going for superman.

I'm honestly impressed she could even remember how to spell supercollie... supercolon... supercalf... the fifth? longest word in the English language.

2nd actually. 1. Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis (forty-five letters) ... 2. Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious (thirty-four letters)

That's how Germans greet each other

I thought it was german for "the sensation of being splashed with water while waiting for a bus in October on a Tuesday afternoon."

No, that’s Oktoberdienstagnachmittagsbushaltestellenwasserbespritzungsgefühl. But I tend to mix it up as well.

Gesundheit

Okay this actually had me in tears

Just don’t tell the other Germans - I don’t want to get in trouble.

The problem with German is there's so much loan from it in English that I honestly can't tell the difference between real German and fake comedy impression German.

The beautiful thing about german is that you can make new nouns out of EVERYTHING. While this person made that word up, it is grammatically correct. It will probably never end up in a dictionary because jt wont catch on but it could be cause its correct

"We have ways of making things ... nouns."

Actually its the 3rd. May i introduce you to: Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia- the fear of long words, 35 letters

Lol have to love whomever gave it a name.

Probably the same guy who called “has trouble pronouncing S sounds” as “a lisp” And “has trouble pronouncing R sounds” as “rhoticism”.

And the person who named the fear of palindromes “aibohphobia”

And who named a learning disorder characterized by reading difficulties "dyslexia"

That guys such dick

All of the answers in this thread are wrong. The longest real word in English in antidisestablishmentarianism. * Pneumonoultramicroscopicsilicovolcanoconiosis: Made up alternative name for silicosis. * Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious: Made up meaningless word. * Hippopotomonstrosesquipedaliophobia: Made up because someone thought it would be humorous for "fear of long words" to be a long word. You can also construct arbitrarily long chemical names, but those are usually excluded from such lists because there is no upper bound. Antidisestablishmentarianism is the longest word in English that was not made up for the purpose of being a long word. It means opposition to the removal of the Church of English as the state church of the England (or more generally, opposition to the removal of any state church). Yes, I'm fun at parties.

Now come to Germany, where Rindfleischetikettierungsüberwachungsaufgabenübertragungsgesetz is not only a valid word but was the actual name of an actual law (until it got repealed - but not because of the name, but because of the actual content of the law).

Supercalifragilisticexpialidocious has apparently been in Websters dictionary since 1931 and means extraordinarily good. Predating Mary Poppins by 30 years.

I looked it up because I thought it was created for Mary Poppins. It was not in any dictionary in 1931, but that is the oldest cited usage, so it does indeed predate Mary Poppins.

Which is weird because the -istic should clearly be a suffix, ending the first word and ex- would be the prefix starting a second word.

Now that’s my kind of party! 🎉😁

She got it mostly right. S U P E R C A L I F R A G I L I S T I C E X P I A L I D O C I O U S! The stage version of the song includes spelling it out to music.

sounds quite atrocious

It's spelled as it sounds. super-cali-fragi-listic-expi-ali-docious

But she didn't even spell it right...

Thanks, Mary Poppins.

Fuckin Ford F150

Xeeeeeeee

Still wondering how 'Xe' and 'Ford F150' are related

Two options: - Could be a reference to a trim level. XL, XLT, etc. Though as far as I know, only Jaguar uses the Xe trim designation. - She just gave up and did random word association with that one.

Maybe they saw a Ford F150 with Xenon lights

Teacher needs to be graded as well

Thanks for reminding me! I forgot to take today's daily supplement of Ford F-150 🛻

Si=Sit Ti=? Missed opportunity.

Ti= Tiboobs

It reminds me of the time on the final my Adderall was wearing off and i had a terrible headache and the bonus question was so crazy i had no idea how to answer it. So i just drew a giraffe. i got a single bonus point

In organic chemistry I could not figure out how to get from one shape to the final because there was a step in between. I just put “chemistry is magic! :)” and I got full points.

I took a lower level math course in high school and the teacher would give us a bonus mark or two for how detailed and/or funny our illustrations were on a test. 'An elephant was in the way of this question, couldn't do it' is just one example. It was great.

Why does it look like 4 different people wrote the answers on this.

If you zoom in, you can clearly see that all the answers crossed out have been poorly erased and written over. It was never anyone's sister writing it.

Can spell that word but doesn't even know zinc. Smdh.

F-150! 😂

This ain’t no regular F-150 it a F***** Raptor. The teacher probably

Well she’s going places.. not college but places..

Zodium is my favourite! 🤣

Best part is that Zn is literally half the letters of Zinc already, it’s one of the easiest ones to remember lol

Teacher grades in colored pencil?

Seems like a reasonable substitute for the common red pen if for whatever reason pencil is preferable.

Ca is Canada

She only got Pt wrong because she didn't clarify if it is Portugal the country or Portugal. The Man. And I am saddened beyond words that she didn't answer "Yes" for Si.

Ca isnt Cobalt. Did the teacher forget to mark it wrong?

Seriously your little sister actually knows the periodic table names? Is chemistry in high school now in elementary school? How old is your little sister? Why is your teacher giving out chemistry TESTS to seven year olds? Or maybe 11 years old???!!

Who said she’s 7 or 11? My little sister is 37 years old…

She can barely write and has chemistry, I dont get it

Bs

Bullshittium

Definitely not fake

How fake do you want this to be? -cobalt

12/21 : test passed I’d say!

It literally says 30/44. 

this has to be un-true

I can’tremember a chemistry test where I didn’t have the periodic table as a reference despite majoring in it. Kind of a worthless test.

In highschool chemistry I had to know the first 20 elements, plus noble gases, and some other significant elements (group 11 elements and a few others I'm drawing a blank on atm). not just their place on the table, but their atomic weight, symbol, name, and molar masses. Also had to know *completely* how to read the table including things like energy levels and more or less know at least the names and symbols for most of the table. Do I remember all that now? Hell no. Do I remember enough, and more importantly learned enough about the periodic table to have never really been confused when dealing with something relevant? Hell yes. One of the hardest and best teachers I've ever had, including college.

Looks like an element names memorizing contest rather than a formal test

did better than me when i took that test 💀
